Kalita paper filters for pour-over

Japanese Kalita has been making brewing equipment since 1959. Here you will find paper filters for Kalita Wave #155 and Kalita Wave #185.

Kalita and paper filters for pour-over

Kalita is a Japanese brand founded in 1959, headquartered in Yokohama. The focus here is not on a broad range of brewers, but on paper filters made for Kalita's Wave format and for a consistent, predictable brewing routine.

What makes this collection easy to navigate is the sizes. Kalita Wave #155 is the smaller option for 1–2 cups. Kalita Wave #185 is the larger option for 2–4 cups. Both are sold in packs of 100, both are disposable paper filters, and both are based on the same flat bottom shape that the Wave series is known for.

The differences lie in the size and the compatibility listed for each product. Some products mention only Kalita Wave and Origami. Others also list Gino and Tiamo K among brewers with a flat bottom shape. If you are looking for paper filters for pour-over, the simple way to choose the right ones is therefore size first, compatibility second.

Two details recur throughout the selection: white paper and 100 filters per pack. The 155 and 185 packs also specify oxygen bleached paper. For Size #155 and Size #185, we recommend rinsing the filter before use to remove any potential papery taste.
